FOODIE FRIDAY -- Bacardi Rum Cake

This recipe has been passed around many times. I’ve seen some rendition of it in newspapers, magazines and on blogs like this one. Bundt cakes are cakes that are formed in a ring, as if for tea-time. The pans used to make Bundt cakes can be simple to very decorative.

Okay, I had some issues embedding the pics--Sorry!

  1. I love this cake! Around the holidays, I make it in a mini-Bundt pan and give it away. I overdid the rum on the last one, took it to a family dinner, and my nephew accused me of trying to get them drunk. It was a tad strong.
